<P><BR>Yes, but what worried me about this is that it is sent to me by a very liberal sort of person who thinks he is being very critical at this moment.  Seems like I can't have a conversation with people any more on stuff like this without them accusing me of being "anti-hindu."</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Let me begin with a disclosure: I do not know the BBC's coverage of 
<DIV></DIV>>India 
<DIV></DIV>>intimately to either support or defend the particulars of the 
<DIV></DIV>>petition (as 
<DIV></DIV>>I suspect most of the 898 signators don't either). 
<DIV></DIV>> 
<DIV></DIV>>But the petition itself strikes me as alarming, alarmist, inaccurate 
<DIV></DIV>>(India 
<DIV></DIV>>the only democracy in the region?), nationalist (in the very worst 
<DIV></DIV>>sense), 
<DIV></DIV>>communal. Please let us not suspend our critical abilities to rally 
<DIV></DIV>>under 
<DIV></DIV>>a communal/nationalist "unity."
